Iorana!
I mainly created this site to gain access to some other interesting pages on MySpace, to meet new people, and to have a place and blog where I can ramble, bragg, and bubble about everything that I'm interested in, and that doesn't fit on the website "Ask Dr. Mike" , about the actor Michael T. Weiss, that I maintain in my *other* net life.
I also have a home page by the name of "Road Trip" (named after an episode from the 4th season of the TV series 'The Pretender' that premiered just before we left), covering an extended family vacation that took us through parts of Canada, and through very large parts of the US, back in 2000.
In the mid 80ies I wiggled my bottom in a -thankfully- long forgotten break-dance film starring Lorenzo Lamas ;
In the early 90ies I've published two books about social behaviour in mid-19th century America (both long out of print) ;
In spring 2002 I appeared in the 6th season of German TV series "Bullyparade", wearing a pink bunny costume and wiggeling some of my body parts ;
And in early 2006 I became one of the many co-executive producers of Nick Love's film
"Outlaw" starring Sean Bean and Bob Hoskins. Sean again proves that he still is Sheffield's hottest. Unfortunately also another entry in the 'Death By Cow List'.
"Outlaw" opened in the UK on March 9, 2007, and is available on DVD worldwide.
From October 3 to November 20, 2006 I've spent a lot of my time fascinated following the filming (mostly thanks to *someone* who had access to the set) of "Reservation Road"
starring Joaquin Phoenix (too good for words) as grieving Ethan Learner, who has lost his son in a hit-and-run.
Its production company Focus Feature still runs a production reel , with bits and pieces from "Reservation Road" and "Eastern Promises" (amongst others), that didn't made it into the released films.
In 2007 I contributed to the liner notes & biographies of the German DVD package of Sean Bean's series "Sharpe" / "Die Scharfschützen", released in November 2007, with an enhanced 2nd edition out since fall 2008. A 3 disc version of "Sharpe's Challenge" / "Das letzte Gefecht" is also out since then.
And ever since I first laid my eyes on Sean a very long way back, I gladly suffer from SBOCD (Sean Bean Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), and I have no wish to find healing.
